I am starting my ATC practical at the weekend

Hi I was L-SMSH in a BBJ.

-When I asked for a runway change you never gave me a pattern entry to the new runway. You must have a pattern entry for every runway change.

-I called full stop and you told me not to send unnecessary messages. I was wondering why, and then I saw that you gave me a landing clearance after the runway change. Runway change does not mean I’m going to land. I departed in a pattern, so you should have cleared me for the option, not for landing.

To do a runway change, send a pattern entry, then send a option clearance with a new direction of traffic to follow after the runway change. So for example, a runway change for a plane flying right downwind in 34L would look like:

“Plane A, Enter right downwind 34C.”
“Plane A, Runway 34C, cleared for the option, after the option, make right/left traffic”

Cheers 🍻

Practical this weekend

Are you going to open sometime again before you take the practical? Btw, you don’t need to wait for a pilot to change runways. So if someone hasn’t requested a runway change and you want practice (or you deem it necessary), just issue a runway change.

I will open again in a few hours. Practical tonight

Sorry I haven’t been able to stay for long…

Just some quick notes:

  1. Since there was someone on Approach, you do not need to give me a pattern entry instruction (“enter left base runway 30L”) when I requested for ILS approach (same goes for GPS approach). Just clear me for the option. That being said, however, if someone is inbound on the ILS/GPS when nobody’s on approach, you would still need to give them a pattern-entry instruction.
  2. Need to give “frequency change approved” when I requested departure to the north.

I’ll check back on you next time ;)

Nice work. Only need to give me “make xxxx traffic” in the landing clearance if you are changing my runway. Otherwise I’ll keep making the traffic pattern you issued.
